The Captain Douglas DiCenzo Camp Fund

The Captain Douglas DiCenzo Camp Fund was established in 2007 to help send kids to camps. The Fund is in memory of Captain Douglas DiCenzo, a West Point graduate and Plymouth, NH native who was killed in action while serving his country during the war with Iraq.

In its first year of existence, Doug's Camp Fund sent 26 kids to different camps and supported programs that touched more than 2,000 students. Their adventures can be seen in our Camp Fund photo album.

In the past 18 years we have sent over 2300 children to camp thanks to the Power of Doug!
